The Weekend Surprise

Last Friday, my husband flew back from Hong Kong for a surprise weekend visit! To preempt me from calling him, he had emailed me before leaving the office for the airport that he was going to watch a 3hrs long Star Trek after dinner that night.

As I had left the office by the time his email came, I ended up still calling him. Not surprisingly, the call went straight to the voice mail since he was on board the plane then. I thought it strange but did not suspect anything at that point. He must be at some place with bad reception I had told myself. That was until the 2nd call was made and I was greeted with ‘The M1 customer that you are calling is currently unavailable’ that I knew he was up to something as I remember very well dialing the HK mobile number!

Well, it was a surprise alright, more for him in the end cos I was waiting at the door before he had a chance to ring the bell! Surprise or not, I was just thrilled to see him appeared at my doorstep at 30min past midnight.

We basically spent the entire weekend fixing his food craving. I know, try telling him HK has got great food. This guy will tell you nothing beats a good bowl of his favorite Teochew mee. Followed by roti prata and a cup of good old teh, carrot cake, bak kut teh and kaya toast, all in 2 days. It was totally unhealthy and I would have not allowed it under normal circumstance. But just for that weekend I had no heart to stop him.
